With the UK facing a growing ADHD diagnosis crisis, NHS waiting lists now average 2–3 years due to the high demand for assessments.

As a healthcare professional, you’ll be making a meaningful difference to individuals in urgent need of timely support and helping to address the ADHD backlog.

ADHD Training Course Reviews

Fantastic reviews from doctors, nurses, psychotherapists and health care practitioners.

As a consultant psychiatrist, I wanted to enhance my understanding of ADHD and improve my diagnostic skills. This course was thorough, covering the use of DIVA 5.0 and NICE guidelines, with practical applications in clinical practice. The mock assessments were incredibly useful, and the Q&A exam at the end left me feeling confident and well-prepared. The trainer was passionate, and the course was highly professional. I would recommend it to any mental health professional looking to improve their knowledge and practice in diagnosing ADHD

Dr Mahdi Boolaky

Consultant Psychiatrist

The course was appropriate for a broad range of professionals, and very thorough for understanding the application of the DIVA assessment in adults and young DIVA in children, and we had an opportunity to test our knowledge in application with a case which was beneficial. Great opportunity to learn from Dr Pav, in an inclusive environment that included people from a diverse professional background, and indeed learning from different perspectives was also hugely beneficial. Together, we can all make a difference to creating a neuroinclusive society.

Dr Lorna

Allied Healthcare Professional

The ADHD diagnostic training course was evidence-based information on ADHD. The trainer has included diagnosis, treatment options, and management strategies for children and adults. The training also consists of a thorough exploration of ADHD symptoms, comorbid conditions, and their impact on daily life. Practical tools, case studies, and examples were applied in real-world settings. The course has opened my appetite for further training in this area.

Really brilliant course - super informative and so much helpful information. Great to have it be so interactive, kept me interested the whole time which means a lot as its a long day! But learnt so much and feeling confident going forward in adding this element to my practice. Thank you Dr Pav and Vinod :)

"Dr. Kooner is the best doctor both myself and my daughter have had the pleasure to meet and work with. He has transformed our lives in the way he listened to us and diagnosed both of us. He has an incredible bedside manner, very thoughtful, measured and never judging. He also has a very good aftercare service and you can see and feel he is genuinely caring for you and seeking the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Dr.Kooner"

"I've never been listened to since I've been able to go to the doctors myself for help... It wasn't until I seeked private help with Dr Kooner at PrivateADHD, where I was finally listened to and taken seriously. He went through everything in so much detail and diagnosed me with ADHD. We have regular catch ups to ensure the medication is working for me, which is great... Since being placed on the recommended medication by Dr Kooner, my life has changed for the better, everyone around me has seen such a positive outcome and change."

"Dr. Kooner is the best! He is so reliable and has great and fast communication. When I first moved to London, it was very difficult for me to get the ADHD prescription, I was taking in the states. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to take my medication here anymore until I found PrivateADHD. They made it so easy and stress-free to get my prescription and I cannot recommend them enough."

"Very helpful doctor. His deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with ADHD is evident in every interaction and his support extends beyond just medical treatment - for eg. he routinely discusses and offers practical strategies to manage daily life. He takes the time to understand each patient’s individual needs and provides tailored advice that makes a real difference. For anyone seeking a comprehensive, well-rounded approach to ADHD treatment, I would highly recommend Dr. Kooner."

"After several difficulties with pharmacies previously due to the stock issues when I was under the GP temporarily I was so grateful that Private ADHD was able to see me within 48 hours and I had medication delivered to my house which was a pleasant surprise.

"I waited nearly 2 years for an NHS ADHD diagnosis; following the NHS appointment in April I was told the wait to start medication would be 8-10 months. In complete despair, I decided to seek private treatment- I contacted Dr Kooner and was able to book a diagnostic reassessment and initial medication titration appointment within 24 hours, and received my first prescription within 3 days. Having access to medication has been an absolute game changer for me and I am so thankful to Dr Kooner for this!"

"Had a consultation with Dr Pav. Cannot recommend highly enough, I had been struggling with symptoms that had been affecting my life for some time. I went to the GP and was told the waiting time was 3-5 years.Booking with privateadhd.co.uk was surprising easy. Once I chose my appointment and confirmed the booking I was sent a pre assessment questionnaire that took about 30 mins to complete, I filled this out with my partner.After this I received a phone call from the doctor and we confirmed the video call appointment for the very next day..."

"I had an exceptional experience with PrivateADHD for my ADHD diagnosis, and for anyone stuck on the lengthy public waitlist, I highly recommend taking the leap and seeking a private assessment through them...

From day one, PrivateADHD was incredibly responsive and supportive. Out of all the private clinics I reached out to, they stood out for their kindness and willingness to address any question or concern I had along the way. I’m genuinely grateful for the care they showed me, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to go through them..."

"I have been affected by ADHD symptoms all of my life and decided after family members had been diagnosed and treated with good results that I should try and get an assessment and see if I could benefit from treatment. I was assessed by Dr Kooner over a video chat and found him to be very thorough, informative, patient and helpful... I felt listened to and that I was given informed choice and that my views and opinion mattered. He didn’t rush me and I felt that the experience was safe and comfortable..."

"I have been suffering from a significant number of ADHD symptoms as a child, which worsened over the years. This convinced me to get assessed for ADHD privately, as the NHS waiting list is extremely long (up to 4 years for an assessment).

I liked how he intensively explained what causes ADHD, how ADHD runs in families, and such. Finally, as someone who has ADHD, he completely understands the debilitating and crippling effects ADHD has had on me academically, socially, and mentally throughout the years."
